			<h1>EXACT Function</h1>
			<p>The <b>EXACT</b> function is one of the <a href="../UsageInstructions/InsertFunction.htm#textdata" onclick="onhyperlinkclick(this)">text and data functions</a>. Is used to compare data in two cells. The function returns TRUE if the data are the same, and FALSE if not.</p>
			<h3>Syntax</h3> 
			<p><b><em>EXACT(text1, text2)</em></b></p> 
            <p>The <b>EXACT</b> function has the following arguments:</p>
            <table style="width: 40%">
                <tr>
                    <th style="background-color: #f4f4f4" width="150ch"><b>Argument</b></th>
                    <th style="background-color: #f4f4f4"><b>Description</b></th>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td><b><em>text1(2)</em></b></td>
                    <td>Two text strings you want to compare.</td>
                </tr>
            </table>
			<h3>Notes</h3>
            <p>The EXACT function is <b>case-sensitive</b>.</p>
            <p><a href="../UsageInstructions/InsertFunction.htm#applyfunction" onclick="onhyperlinkclick(this)">How to apply</a> the <b>EXACT</b> function.</p>			
			<h3>Examples</h3>
            <p>There are two arguments: <em>text1</em> = <b>A1</b>; <em>text2</em> = <b>B1</b>, where <b>A1</b> is <b>MyPassword</b>, <b>B1</b> is <b>mypassword</b>. So the function returns <b>FALSE</b>.</p>
			<p><img alt="EXACT Function: FALSE" src="../images/exactfalse.png" /></p>
			<p>If we change the <b>A1</b> data converting all the uppercase letters to lowercase, the function returns <b>TRUE</b>:</p>
			<p><img alt="EXACT Function: TRUE" src="../images/exacttrue.png" /></p>
